Mercy has spent her life evading the Pirate Queen who attempted to murder her as a child. Now, living as a smuggler with the outlawed Talent of telepathy, she keeps her head down, takes jobs that keep her moving, and searches for answers about her mother’s disappearance fifteen years ago.

Her only ally is the most dangerous killer of them all, and trusting him may be her final mistake. Star Wars meets Firefly in this space fantasy series readers compare to Ilona Andrews and Nalini Singh.
